உலகத்தில் இல்லாததோ
There is joy in relationships
I told you, my dear
Do you not know this?
Is it something non-existent in this world?

Is love eternal?
He is a king of fine arts
He is a king of taste and appreciation

காதலில் இவன் தானே கண்ணன் அன்று
தலையணை மஞ்சம் போட்டு
கலைஞனை நெஞ்சில் பூட்டி
சாந்தியில் மணக்கோலம் காண்பாய் இன்று
காலம் சிறிதல்லவா காதல் பெரிதல்லவா
மோகம் சுகமல்லவா முடிவு உலகல்லவா
Was he not Krishna himself in matters of love back then?
Setting up the couch with pillows
Locking the artist in your heart
Today you will see the blissful decor of marital union
Isn't time brief, and love immense?
Isn't passion sweet, and its outcome a whole world?
